         and high capacity secure digital (hcsd) cards.gif)
The LEGRIA HF21 is Canon's smallest, most stylish High Definition digital video camera ever. The combination of Canon's Super Range Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS), high resolution 3.3 megapixel image sensor and new DIGIC DV III processor, which records data at the maximum AVCHD rate of 24Mbps, result in delivering 1920x1080 Full HD video defined by vivid colours and exceptional detail. The camera is feature packed, with powerful zoom, versatile connectivity, and new recording features. The LEGRIA HF21 features a true Progressive 1/4" HD CMOS sensor (1920 x 1080) for fast capture and processing and low power consumption, a high precision 37mm diameter aspheric video lens with 15x zoom, DiG!C DV III image processor for high speed and quality processing of HD data, and Super Range Optical Image Stabilizer to compensate for vibration and hand-held movement. Instant AF delivers crisp and quick refocus to ensure optimum HD footage. Face detection means up to 35 faces can be detected in a single frame, optimising shooting settings appropriately. Also you can record your movies and take photos simultaneously without switching between modes. RRP $1699. NO LONGER AVAILABLE.
